The largest (bank owned) house in Canada

Since I am up in Canada for the summer, I thought I’d take a closer look at the largest house in Canada. No Queen of Versailles bling-bling here – this sleek thing is way out in the Canadian wilderness.

The setting is pristine and remote but the house clocks in at more square feet that the American White House!

The home was famously foreclosed on after the owner, Peter Grant – a titan of the forest product industry – ran into financial trouble. He had intended the massive house to be both his dream home and corporate office.

But now it sits empty and forlorn, another casualty of the harsh Canadian northland.
